Goldsboro, N.C. — The Goldsboro Police Department is proud to announce the successful completion of its on-site assessment for reaccreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). This significant milestone underscores the department’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of law enforcement practices.
The on-site assessment was conducted over the past four days by retired Valdosta, Ga., Police Chief Brian Childress, a seasoned CALEA assessor. During this thorough evaluation, Chief Childress reviewed the department’s policies, procedures, and operations to ensure compliance with CALEA’s rigorous standards. His comprehensive assessment confirms that the Goldsboro Police Department continues to exemplify excellence in public safety services.
“We are thrilled to have successfully completed our on-site assessment,” said Goldsboro Police Chief Michael West. “This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of our sworn and civilian staff over the past four years. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this effort, particularly Megan Styron, our accreditation and planning manager, for her exceptional leadership and dedication.”
Chief West also acknowledged the vital contributions of Captain LeAnn Rabun, who stepped up as interim accreditation manager during a critical transition period, and Rosie Wagner, the former accreditation and planning manager, whose seven years of guidance and expertise laid a strong foundation for the department’s continued success.
We would also like to thank our community partners and neighboring law enforcement agencies for participating in our on-site assessment. Your support and involvement have been invaluable to our success.
The next step in the reaccreditation process will be the department’s appearance before the CALEA Commission in November. Achieving CALEA reaccreditation is of paramount importance to the Goldsboro Police Department, as it signifies adherence to the highest standards of law enforcement, thereby enhancing the department’s ability to serve the community with integrity and excellence.
